Determine range blower setting.
This cooktop is equipped with a dual range blower. It is factory set at
"Low" range to be used for equivalent duct length runs of 30 feet
(9.1m) or shorter. If the equivalent duct length exceeds30 feet (9.1m),
the blower must be shifted to "High" range. Do Not shift to "High"
range for runsshorter than 30 feet (9.1m). Using the "High" range on
shorter runs will cause excessive noise and conditioned air loss, and
will affect the flame pattern of gas burners.
List the number of each piece and length of straight duct you will use.
Multiply the equivalent length by the number of pieces. Add the totals
to get the total equivalent length of your system.

Shifting blower
to "High" range
To shift blower to
"High" range:
1. Turn blower off.
2. Remove the air grille and
filter from blower housing.
3. Snap the spring-loaded
restricter ring out of the
blower inlet.
4. Reinstall the filter and air
grille.

Note: Flexible metal duct is Not recommended.
If it is used, calculate each foot of flexible duct as two
feet of straight metal ductwork. Flexible metal elbows
count twice as much as standard elbows.
